Derrick Henry Gets Held Below 100 Yards
Derrick Henry led the NFL in rushing last season and he is off to another hot start. He is at the top of the league once again with 588 yards through five games. Henry is averaging 117.6 yards per game and is coming off a massive 212-yard performance.
Something will have to give in this one. The Steelers are allowing 285.2 total yards and 66.2 rushing yards per game. Both numbers are second-fewest in the league.
The Titans are fifth in the league in rushing yards per game with 157.8. That is how the Titans have turned their franchise around. The rushing attack provides protection for Tannehill and gives him the option of play-action.
In this matchup, the Steelers will contain Henry. There is no chance of completely shutting him down just because of how physically dominant he is. If Henry is held under 100 yards, that is a win for Pittsburgh.
